The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...

For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. For some reason the field slows down the flow of heat from the Sun's interior and keeps sunspots slightly cooler than their surroundings. ... Solar Eclipses . ...
